Iris goofing around - Preview and some other stuff =D

Hey everyone, I try not to make posts back to back, but since this month is a little shorter than usual, I had to. =D

So, this is an idea I've had a long long time ago, that I wanted to make a series focused on expressions, trying out new things and whatnot.

Initially this was intended as a "photo booth" series but I really liked the theme of her just messing around in front of the mirror after a shower. So yeah, that grey area is a towel wrapped up on her.

Also, those expressions don't come out of thin air. In order to have fidelity in the gestures, deformation of mouth and other parts of the body interacting, I use a LOT of references. For example, in that old portrait of Iris (Music) that she has her hand kinda in front of her mouth, that's actually based on a picture I had to take in front of the mirror lol. 

Another thing for those curious, a few months ago I said that I had build a "basic structure" of Iris house in 3d to use as reference on drawings and such (to make sure it's consistent between different images). Well .. I actually took the next step and build it on The Sims 4 lol. 

Figuring out you know .. "stuff" .. that's often in a house (furniture, shelves, things on shelves, decoration hanging on the wall etc etc) is really hard to do. So instead, I spent a few hours building it on the game, since they have a descent catalog of all those things, but it was quite fun to do that. And it will help me a lot in future drawings because I can just go in the "camera mode" of the game and take a screenshot of a room and use it as reference to make the room more "lively". Because let's face it, Iris house decoration so far was very minimalistic lol. 

I'll see to post a few screenshots later =)

Also a minor "announcement", I've made a few improvements on the timeline of my patreon page.

- I removed a LOT of "informative posts" such as rewards announcements, polls, past rewards topics and things that are not really relevant anymore. 

- I created 5 tags and labeled all posts with them. So it's easier to browse the page for specific tags. They should be pretty self explanatory. 

- I polished the description of the page, how my patreon works etc, and made the text more "clear" and easier to read.

Anyway, just a few improvements to make browsing here more efficient for everyone (myself included lol). And if you have any feedback on that, let me know!

So, I hope you guys liked the preview, and sorry for the wall of text =D
